       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of content has a first order and the second set of content has a second order distinct from the first order. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first order organizes the first set of content based on a time of receiving each content item of the first set of content. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the second order organizes the second set of content based on an identity of a content originator for each content item of the second set of content. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 2 , wherein automatically transferring the first portion of content associated with the content item to the second set of content further comprises:
 associating the content item with the second set of content; and 
 organizing the content item within the second set of content according to the second order. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first set of content is presented in a first area of a user interface and the second set of content is presented in a second area of a user interface. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 causing presentation of a consumption indicator having a first portion and a second portion distinct from the first portion, the first portion representing unconsumed content items and the second portion representing consumed content items; and 
 based on receiving the consumption notification, automatically modifying a size of the first portion of the consumption indicator and a size of the second portion of the consumption indicator. 
 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 7 , wherein the consumption indicator is a track for a scroll bar. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 7 , wherein the first portion of the consumption indicator is presented as a first color and the second portion of the consumption indicator is presented as a second color distinct from the first color. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 7 , wherein the first portion of the consumption indicator is sized proportionately to the unconsumed content items and the second portion of the consumption indicator is sized proportionately to the consumed content items. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 10 , wherein modifying the size of the first portion of the consumption indicator based on receiving the consumption notification reduces a length of the first portion of the consumption indicator and increases the length of the second portion of the consumption indicator in proportion to a number of content items consumed. 
     
     
       12. A system, comprising:
 one or more processors; and 
 a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 causing presentation of a plurality of content icons within a graphical user interface, the plurality of content icons comprising a first set of content and second set of content; 
 monitoring a consumption status of the first set of content; 
 
 based on the consumption status, modifying a content icon for a content item of the first set of content to indicate consumption of a first portion of content associated with the content item, the modifying comprising blurring a first portion of the content icon, the blurring of the first portion of the content icon being proportional to an amount of consumption of the content item; 
 automatically transferring the first portion of content associated with the content item to the second set of content; 
 retaining a second portion of content associated with the content item in the first set of content, the second portion of content representing unconsumed content; and 
 causing presentation of the modified content icon for the content item as a part of the second set of content and the first set of content within the graphical user interface. 
 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the first set of content has a first order and the second set of content has a second order distinct from the first order, and, in automatically transferring the first portion of content associated with the content item to the second set of content, the processor-executable instructions cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 associating the content item with the second set of content; and 
 organizing the content item within the second set of content according to the second order. 
 
     
     
       14. The system of  claim 13 , wherein the first order organizes the first set of content based on a time of receiving each content item of the first set of content and the second order organizes the second set of content based on an identity of a content originator for each content item of the second set of content. 
     
     
       15. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the processor executable instructions cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
